It started its transmission under the name CNBC Pakistan by taking a license from CNBC Asia. It was then owned by Vision Network Television.[2]

In 2015, it was relaunched as Jaag TV after struggling to compete in the Pakistani market. The channel continued to struggle and was bought by Pakistani bakery company, Gourmet Foods.[1] Reportedly, they bought it for Rs. 1.5 billion to diversify their business.[1]

In 2018, the company announced its intention to rename the channel and relaunch it under the name, G News Network. For this purpose, they appointed Amir Mir, brother of journalist and anchor Hamid Mir, as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the channel.[1]

On 10 August 2018, Hamid Mir left Geo TV and joined GNN as President of the channel along with two other colleagues Sohail Warraich and Munib Farooq.[3] But his stint remained brief at GNN as two months later on 12 October 2018, Hamid Mir left GNN.

Journalist Dr. Shahid Masood joined GNN as President on 14 April 2019, continuing his show Live With Dr. Shahid Masood.

Journalist Arif Hameed Bhatti joined GNN as chief operating officer (COO) on 13 June 2019.[4][5]
